Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pilot Study to Investigate the Efficacy of a Toothpaste in Providing Relief From Dentinal Hypersensitivity (NCT NCT01494649)

NCT ID: NCT01494649

Last Updated: 2013-05-08

Results Overview

Response to a constant (duration, pressure, temperature, distance from target) jet of air applied to a hypersensitive tooth was evaluated using Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale. According to this analog scale hypersensitivity scores for the stimulated tooth is 0, 1, 2 or 3 (lower the score, lower the hypersensitivity).0= no response; 1= response and no discontinuation request; 2= response and discontinuation request; 3= painful response and discontinuation request. Change was calculated as Schiff score immediately after treatment minus Schiff score at baseline.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and immediately after treatment administration

Population: Intent to treat (ITT) population: All participants who were randomized, receive at least one dose of treatment, and had at least one post baseline efficacy evaluation. No data was imputed in the case of dropouts or missing data.

Response to a constant (duration, pressure, temperature, distance from target) jet of air applied to a hypersensitive tooth was evaluated using Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale. According to this analog scale hypersensitivity scores for the stimulated tooth is 0, 1, 2 or 3 (lower the score, lower the hypersensitivity).0= no response; 1= response and no discontinuation request; 2= response and discontinuation request; 3= painful response and discontinuation request. Change was calculated as Schiff score immediately after treatment minus Schiff score at baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Day 3

Population: ITT population: All participants who were randomized, receive at least one dose of treatment, and had at least one post baseline efficacy evaluation. No data was imputed in the case of dropouts or missing data.

Response to a constant (duration, pressure, temperature, distance from target) jet of air applied to a hypersensitive tooth evaluated using Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale. According to this analog scale hypersensitivity scores for the stimulated tooth is 0, 1, 2 or 3 (lower the score, lower the hypersensitivity). 0=No participant response to stimulus, 1=responds but will continue, 2=responds and moves or requests discontinuation, 3=Painful response to stimulus, discontinuation requested. Change was Schiff score on Day 3 minus Schiff score at baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and immediately after treatment administration

Population: ITT population: All participants who were randomized, receive at least one dose of treatment, and had at least one post baseline efficacy evaluation. No data was imputed in the case of dropouts or missing data.

Measured with an electronic force sensing probe (Yeaple Probe): 10, 20, 30, 40, up to 80 grams of force applied to hypersensitive tooth until pain was elicited. Grams of force needed to elicit pain was recorded as hypersensitivity score for the tooth. The higher the score, the lower the hypersensitivity. Hypersensitivity scores on a per study participant basis was recorded as mean scores of all hypersensitive teeth. Change was calculated as mean score immediately after treatment minus mean score at baseline.
